Does This Look Gravid to You?

humpbacks1962 Apr 23, 2005 06:34 PM

Hope it does not. First, she is not a year old yet. Second and most important, she is an AFT. There are NO AFTs in her tank. Only leos...

She is a very good feeder, likes to eat a lot and has been eating a great amount of waxworms lately, but she sure got lobsided.

Did you ever come across this situation before?

I have no intention at all of creating hybrids here, but could she be gravid?

I don't SEE eggs, but she's fer sure chunky. How's her appetite? If she's gravid she shoulda quit eatin', or slowed down at least.

Hi, I'd advise cutting off waxworms if it's not to late as I have two waxworm addicts at the moment. Also, don't worry about hybrids because as far as I know based on the info I've read hybrids between the two genera don't happen.

That is comforting, I am glad you guys are here.

She does love waxworms! I place them in the tank to feed one leo recovering from an anorexic period, and I suspect my little pig is porking them all herself

Now that I have your opinion, immensely appreciated, I'll work something out.
